However, what shocked everyone was when it was revealed that the film is based on real-life incidents where around 32,000 women from Kerala are trapped under this hazardous scheme.

The film was in the scanner ever since the trailer released. Following this, there has been a rise in resentment and protests stating that the film should be banned. However, the description of the film’s trailer altered from being the ‘story of 32,000 women’ to that of three women just recently. That sparked another round of debate.
